HIS WEEK =. AND NEXT by Ray Argyle A smooth transfer of power Is underway in Canada thib week following the Liberal lead- ership convention and the nam- ing of a new Prime Minister. But for the United States, an agonizing seven months lies a- head before the new President is chosen, followed by another three mothns before he takes office. For the next ten months, the Unitedv States and the West will thus be led by a "lame - duck" president who will be pursuing politics which the world knows could be reversed overnight when the new Presi- dent is sworn in next January. While President Johnson's withdrawl parrallels President Truman's action in 1952 in stepping down amidst the Ko- rean War, there is also a fan- tastic similarity with John An Expositor Classified will pay you dividends.

Mr. Diefenbaker was. elected with the greatest parliamentary majority in Canada's history in 1957. Six years later he was out of office, .having lost the mas- sive support he had enjoyed by ousting the Liberals from 22 years of power. Mr. Johnson was elected, president in his own right by the greatest majority in Ameri- can history in 1964, having tak- en office in 1063 in one of the darkest hours of the Republic. Six year later, he too would be out of office, unpopular and unmaurned. Although President Johnson's action hit like a bombshell, his popuarity had been dropping fast. The latest Gallup polls showed only 26 percent of the people in agreement with his Vietnam policies, and only 36 percent approving of his over- all handling of the presidency. Any President has the right to retire gracefully when his policies become unpopular. It is therefore somewhat surpris- ing that political observers did not more .widely anticipate the likelihood of LBJ stepping down. Last October, I wrote in this column. that "there was a seri- ous possibility that LBJ could step aside at the end of his present terms." I cited the trend of the polls, the deepen- ing Vietnam quagmire and con- cluded by 'noting that President Johnson • "could surprise the world by retiring to the side- lines in 1968". Now that this has happened, what does it mean in terms of the Vietnam War and in the likely outcome of the Republic- an and Domocratic races and the November election? It must be prestimed that President :Johnson burdened with the weight of an unwinn- able war in Vietnam, recog- nized that his continued pres- enee in the White House both divided America and made a settlement in Vietnam impossi- ble.' The Un!ted States has lost the war militarily, but now there may be a chance of a po- litical victory, although some- what tainted. Undoubtedly the war, has ccst Mr. Johnson the presidency, however, the world can be grateful he had the cour- age and insight to realize this. Now comes the disclosure by Hanoi that it will come to the conference table to discuss peace in Vietnam. About the lone stumbling block to a com- promise in Vietnam is the Am- erican's continuation of bomb- ing between the 17th and 20th parrallels. If the U.S. elimi- nates the bombing completely, peace will come. . And it is likely President Johnson will agree to a cessa- tion of the bombing, giving the new president a clean slate with, which to begin his duties. At home the Johnson with- drawal and the unimpressive victory in the Wisconsin pri- mary by Senator Eugene Mc- Carthy has been viewed in many quarters aS•,-fi itnock-out victory for Senater Kennedy. But -as the senator said when he heardhe news, it is a long way to the convention, and ev- en further to the election. There is now room for a strong right- wing, "win the war" candidate in both parties. The Republi- can spoils will certainly no longer be left to"Rithard Nixon to feast on in solitude.. The Democrats will not leave the nomination, to only Kennedy, McCarthy and Humphrey.
